Healthy Habits: Broccoli Rabe & Chicken

Many brides want to be in the best shape of their lives on their wedding day. They'll join a gym, work out, and work on their fitness. But did you know that simply by eating better you'll be able to see results? We at Jetting To The Wedding think it's super important to make healthy food choices a priority, and that's why we're bringing you Healthy Habits, a section of our blog to give you healthy ideas for meals.

 Here we have organic, free-range chicken seasoned with Mrs. Dash's original seasoning, with sides of organic brown rice and organic broccoli rabe. We love Mrs. Dash's seasoning because it is sodium-free. 

Chicken: 

Rinse the chicken after you take it out of the package. Put it into a pyrex glass  with a little bit of organic olive oil and season. Bake for 25-30 minutes at 350 degrees. 

Rice: 

Use a ratio of 1.5 cups of water to 1 cup of rice. Put the rice and water in a pot. You can add bay leaves for a little something extra. Turn your stove on high, and bring the rice and water to a boil. Once it boils, put the lid on and let the rice simmer for 20 minutes. Take the pot off the stove and let it sit for about 10-20 minutes, depending on how chewy you like your rice. 

Broccoli Rabe:

Wash the broccoli rabe and put it to the side. Fill a pot about 3/4 with water, and bring to a boil. Carefully put the broccoli rabe in once the water has boiled. Let it sit in the boiling water for 3-5 minutes, depending on how you like your broccoli.

Immediately strain the water out, and put the broccoli rabe into a pot of cold water with ice. This will stop the cooking process of the broccoli rabe, to maintain the crunchiness. 

Eat and enjoy!
